Last updated: April 2026 dataMultiple and cabled polypropylene synthetic filament yarn — sold in industrial rather than retail form — is a workhorse input for woven geotextiles, rope, carpet backing, and technical textiles. The entire heading resolves to a single US tariff line, 5402630000, covering polypropylene yarn excluding nylon and polyester constructions. India leads US supply, followed by Turkey and the United Kingdom, reflecting established spinning capacity in South Asia and Europe. Buyers should confirm twist count and decitex specifications at the time of entry, as misclassification between single and multiple constructions is a common audit trigger.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP looks at whether two or more single yarns have been twisted or cabled together. Technical documentation such as a mill certificate showing ply construction, twist direction, and turns-per-meter is the most reliable evidence. Single-yarn constructions fall under a different HTS heading, so misidentification can result in reclassification and duty adjustments.
Primary end uses include geotextile fabrics, woven carpet backing, industrial sacking, and rope and cordage manufacturing. The yarn's resistance to moisture and chemicals makes it preferred over natural fibers in outdoor and infrastructure applications.
